Star Wars: Episode IX Rise Of Skywalker (2019)

[UCFish]

Which thread....thought this was the Star Wars thread...can't see another thread to discuss issues with who is Directing Star Wars than a Star Wars thread.

Please feel free to let me know.

I'm all for women and minorities directing star wars, as long as they are the best men/women for the job

[UCFish]

100% agree with that

[smokew11]

I'm confident Bigelow could do it, Zero Dark Thirty was outstanding. I'm also confident Beniof and Weis would do an incredible job. Beniof is a great writer and we know how visionary they are when it comes to design, special effects, and world-building

Yeah, that's what I thought. I'm not sure where SkywalkerNumbers is getting his info.

I'm just waiting for Knights of the Old Republic to happen. Whether it's in TV or movies. That is a fantastic universe they can explore.

Star Wars: Episode IX will begin filming at London’s Pinewood Studios on August 1, 2018. J.J. Abrams returns to direct the final installment of the Skywalker saga. Abrams co-wrote the screenplay with Chris Terrio.

Returning cast members include Daisy Ridley, Adam Driver, John Boyega, Oscar Isaac, Lupita Nyong’o, Domhnall Gleeson, Kelly Marie Tran, Joonas Suotamo, and Billie Lourd. Joining the cast of Episode IX are Naomi Ackie, Richard E. Grant, and Keri Russell, who will be joined by veteran Star Wars actors Mark Hamill, Anthony Daniels, and Billy Dee Williams, who will reprise his role as Lando Calrissian.

The role of Leia Organa will once again be played by Carrie Fisher, using previously unreleased footage shot for Star Wars: The Force Awakens. “We desperately loved Carrie Fisher,” says Abrams. “Finding a truly satisfying conclusion to the Skywalker saga without her eluded us. We were never going to recast, or use a CG character. With the support and blessing from her daughter, Billie, we have found a way to honor Carrie’s legacy and role as Leia in Episode IX by using unseen footage we shot together in Episode VII.”

b/c no one cares - TLJ killed the franchise.

[Roose13]

here we go again

[Tiduwho]

This is all Rian's fault

[TwoStep2888]

it'll be interesting to see how they handle Leia, idk what kind of footage they have but it'll be some tricky editing I imagine

Red Letter Media said it best, Disney owning Star Wars is like white trash winning the lottery.

[TwoStep2888]

I have mixed opinions on the Disney Star Wars: loved Rogue One and TLJ, Solo was ok, TFA I liked at first but got real tired of it after seeing it a few times

IV

Rogue One
VIII
VI
Solo

Interesting list. I'd like to hear why you think Clones is worse than Meance.

part of it has to do with the fact that we've gotten more star wars movies in the last 5 years than we had in the previous 30ish
